P.S. We agree that Full Circle is a great publication. Of course, we think you should read Full Circle AND Ubuntu User (no need to pick just one!).

Mike,
We responded to Dave’s email to us and told him that the Discovery Guide (a section in the magazine that helps newer Ubuntu Users get up to speed) for issue #2 is almost identical to issue #1 because it also covers Jaunty Jackalope. The DVD in issue #2 comes with a 6-pack of ‘buntus, all based on the Jaunty release.

Issue #3 of Ubuntu User will come with a Karmic Koala DVD, so the Discovery guide will be written and updated for that new release of Ubuntu.
Hope that helps!
Rikki

@Dave W I can not respond to your comment yet, since I have only seen my article in the magazine.

Not impressed – nearly a third of issue 2 (Discovery Guide section) is a repeat from issue 1. At nearly £8 an issue this is inexcusable.

I agree, Full Circle Magazine rocks. Your average new/potential Ubuntu user may not know about Full Circle, but may see Ubuntu User in the store.

In the U.S., Barnes and Noble has it with the computer magazines, but hidden in the back. Borders bookstore does not even carry it.

I’ve picked this magazine up in W H Smiths and had a browse. Looks good!

One thing i have noticed is that in all the W H Smith’s i go in, Ubuntu User isn’t placed with the rest of the Computer Magazines but rather near the economic/politics/science magazines. Shame, as if i didn’t buy New Scientist i wouldn’t even know it existed!
